A Netflix Original Picture, Written by David Michôd and Joel Edgerton, Directed by David Michôd.
This is an adaptation of legendary Shakespeare work that somehow seems targeted at a teenage audience without fully embracing that, if that was the direction they wanted to take.
The film is too long, with not enough in the way of captivating moments or character interactions. It features a very talented cast that is almost completely wasted. Thomasin McKenzie, Lily-Rose Depp, Ben Mendelsohn, and even Pattinson (armed with a ridiculous accent) only really have extended cameos.
The biggest supporting part belongs to the talented Joel Edgerton, who is a very unconvincing Falstaff. Chalamet is in almost every scene and initially seems painfully miscast, although due to his considerable talents, he does grow into the role.
With the cast and the source material, the fact that this is only a mediocre film is a huge missed opportunity for all involved.
Rating = 3/5
